Locations: Sorry -- there are no Victreebels to be found in the wild. But if you've got a Leaf Stone, use it on a Weepinbell any time to induce evolution. Since Weepinbell doesn't appear in Pokemon Red, Red players need to trade to get one.

This Pokémon naturally learns the following techniques:

LV 01 - Vine WhipLV 01 - Growth

LV 15 - Poison PowderLV 13 - Wrap

LV 18 - Sleep Powder

Tips: Now this is one bad-ass plant. Not only is this evolved Weepinbell really mean-looking, it's also got good HP, Attack and Special powers -- and even enough Speed to make a difference. On the downside, it doesn't learn any new attacks on its own, so only evolve your Weepinbell when it knows all the right techniques. While Victreebel's attack powers are fairly high, there aren't many Grass or Poison attacks that cause high damage -- so use similar strategies as with Weepinbell and Bellsprout. A good combination of moves for Victreebel to learn would be Wrap, a Poison technique like Toxic, Sleep Powder or Stun Spore and a Grass technique like Razor Leaf or Mega Drain. Hyper Beam isn't bad, either -- but only use it when you have put your opponent to sleep first (as you need one round to recharge). Another great move is to use Poison Powder first, then lock down your opponent with Wrap. Combined with Poison Powder (or better even: Toxic), this can be quite effective.

When battling Victreebel, remember that Fire, Ice, Flying, Bug, and Psychic Pokemon all perform exceptionally well against Grass/Poison types. While the damage dealt by moves like Psychic isn't quite as high as when using it against a pure Poison type, it usually does the trick and knocks out Victreebel in one blow. The same holds true for Fire, Ice and Flying techniques. Just don't use Water, Electric, Grass or Fighting Pokemon against it and you can't lose.

Origin: Doesn't Victreebel look like it could take on the world? Well, at least its name suggests that whoever named this Pokemon thought so. Combine a misspelled "victory" and "bell", and you get Victreebel. Note that there is only one "l" in the name, unlike with Bellsprout and Weepinbell.
